Many, I suspect, on a one-way trip to Florida. Democratic registration will no doubt increase to tsunami levels.

“Democratic registration will no doubt increase to tsunami levels. “

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz most affected.

Free food, free drink, free ride, free room....Best fed "citizens" in the country.

It's wrong that they're citizens. 98.5% DON'T speak English....and 60% don't work.

Ah yes one of the results of our victory over Spain in 1898.

Anyone wonder if RCCL will show pictures of the cruise ship “after” these people depart?? How long to clean the ship up and put it back together??

My guess is that the ship won’t be recognizable afterwards and more like a ghetto!

“They have no electricity. Sometimes they have water, sometimes they don’t,” Brown said. “I’m afraid to leave them at home alone.”

What’s the safety issue today as opposed to last month? Oh, yeah, she doesn’t have free babysitters named Iphone and Video Games. No telling how much trouble they’d get into playing board games or picking up debris around the house.

Hey, who’s up for a free cruise to the mainland? Don’t forget to pack your swim suit! How many freebies do we get upon landing?

Why become citizens when they can get the milk for free.

Just imagine if we had permanently kept Cuba and the Philippines too.

Is there a Western country that didn't get far more troubles than profit from the 19th century colony rush? Feh on Kipling's "White Man's Burden".

Imagine that you went to your job every day not to work, but to steal.

How would the company do?

It would probably be broke before too long.

This is what has happened to Puerto Rico.

They elected thieves to office.

Their politicians ran a big Ponzi Scheme and stole from it.

Why would people vote for known thieves?

Because the thieves promised to send some of the loot to the voters.

Morality does matter.

Immoral people destroy a society.

It happened to Puerto Rico.

They can’t vote ‘for President’ if they live on the Island...they have to live on the mainland to vote.

Well maybe we can have them vote as absentee PRs and not Floridans...that state is already tipping precariously.

Yeah, technically on paper they’re US citizens but they don’t want to be a US state. They’ve voted that down how many times now? Free milk. Gimme, gimme, gimme. Bail us out, bail us out, bail us out. They’re like the NFL wanting all the perks but none of the work. If they don’t want us, why should we want them?

I’m in no mood for any moochers. Deport the illegals. Don’t let in any terrorists. Send the BLM back to wherever they came from. Cut off all funding to sanctuary cities, US territories, the UN and everyone else in the world.

Slightly off topic but I always wondered why all these "tropical paradises" are always so poor. As one who lives in the mostly-frigid and bone-chilling Northeast, I spend big money to go someplace warm each winter and each time, I never want to leave.

It seems to be that the opposite should be true. That tropical and semi-tropical areas should be the bastions of wealth and industry, where all the successful people want to live. Instead, all the hard-working wealthy people are living in the bone-chilling cities and towns of North America, freezing their butts off at 5am on train platforms, while large segments of the perpetually poor and work-shy live in year-round tropical comfort.

It's a mystery.
